Bild reports that Mick Schumacher’s key to getting a good position in the 2023 negotiations with the Haas F1 Team is to score points in the “four races remaining.”
Mick Schumacher, who is welcoming his second season in F1 with the Haas F1 Team, has not yet scored points in his F1 career and is in sixth place in the number of no-point races since his debut.
In addition, Jeddah and Monaco suffered a major crash that completely damaged the car, and the estimated $ 2 million in repair costs did not help.
That led to various comments by Guenther Steiner, the representative of the Haas F1 Team. Steiner says he can’t continue the crash anymore, but accuses the media of trying to drive a wedge between the team and Mick Schumacher.
But it’s no exaggeration to say that Mick Schumacher is running out of time as his contract with the Haas F1 Team expires at the end of the season.
Bild reports, “We need more points before the summer vacation. Mick has four races left.”
The four races will be Grumpy until the summer vacation, and will be in England, Austria, France and Hungary. Guenther Steiner said, “We will not negotiate until then.”
“If there are points in his account, Mick will be in a much better position in the summer when negotiations begin,” Bild added.
But can Mick Schumacher bear the pressure to score his first point in the F1 British Grand Prix?
Former F1 driver Christian Danner believes it will be a “big” challenge for Mick Schumacher, but says that if he can score points at Silverstone, he will be able to show Guenther Steiner.
“Silverstone is an incredibly fast and difficult course and a really big challenge,” said Christian Danner.
“If Mick can do that, it’s a piece of the puzzle’I can do it’.”
“It’s a bigger challenge than Canada.”
Mick Schumacher set the sixth fastest time in wet qualifying in Canada, showing off his best Saturday performance to date. He was also in 7th place in the final until he retired from the race due to problems with Ferrari’s F1 power unit.
“Austria is a stop-and-go course and you have to go straight and then brake hard. It’s a bit like Canada.”
However, due to its high speed, “Haas has a slight advantage over its rivals,” he added.
